Sustainable Alternate Materials for Concrete Production from Renewable Source and Waste

چکیده
Natural resources are being continuously extracted for the production of concrete which leads to degradation ecosystem. This is also a challenge sustainability save Nature. study seeks identify suitable replacement material river sand and stone aggregate sustainable utilization renewable sources. Manufactured (M-sand) from industrial by-products coconut shell (CS), an agricultural waste, selected as materials sustainability. uses M-sand fine CS coarse in place (R-sand) crushed (CSA) production, respectively. To prove that alternate materials, this focused on microstructural characteristics constituents conducted produced using R-sand, CS. Also, properties conventional (CC) (CSC) both R-sand M-sand. Since aims find alternative CSA by CS, its studied compared since characterization very significant compatibility. Microstructural studies revealed use does not affect rather it improves strength concrete. A similar same trend was observed when used with R-sand. Hence, strongly suggests alternatives so natural can be saved hence could sustained.
